Command Clement Puppey Ivanova – the undisputed favorite of the tournament. Last time Team Secret was losing in June! Then the team lost Team Liquid with a score of 0: 2. After that there was a series of 12 victories in a row, ten of which – with a dry score. At the same time, Secret played with the leaders of the region. The whole question is in the motivation of the team: it is, of course, difficult to get tired of victories and trophies, but the squad has to prove something to someone Puppey has long since disappeared.

The main competitors of Team Secret at OGA Dota PIT Season 3 are Nigma and OG… The Puppey team beat both teams in the finals of the last championships with a score of 3: 0. After the decisive match at the OMEGA League Sebastian Ceb Debs admitted that Secret is too strong right now. It is unlikely that the situation has changed dramatically in a few weeks. Someone will certainly be able to impose a fight on the Puppey team, but taking the trophy from him is unlikely. It is not surprising that in the first match experts do not believe in Secret’s opponent:
OG’s stellar line-up with Said Samail SumaiL Hassan I was never able to fully realize myself, largely due to the coronavirus pandemic and the cancellation of LAN tournaments, in which the team Johann n0tail Sundstein revealed the best. Because of this, the season for two-time champions The International turned out blurry. Before quarantine, OG was considered one of the strongest teams, and after that it migrated to the status of a good, but very unstable roster, which is always missing something.
After the return of Ceb, things went up for the team. OG took third place in the second season of the OGA Dota PIT, although the team had only a few days to prepare for the tournament, and at the OMEGA League the roster reached the final, where it was able to impose Team Secret on the first two maps. After losing to Puppeu, Debs announced that OG will try to take revenge at the next tournament.

Already at the OMEGA League, it was noticeable that the team once again began to play smoothly and move around the map in moments, as it was at The International 2019. A few weeks after the last tournament, OG could be enough to update and hone everything that had already worked and brought results. It is unclear whether the roster can really take revenge on Secret, but if anyone should now impose a fight on Puppey and his players, it is OG. In addition, the organizers have separated these line-ups on a grid, so that they can only meet in the final of the winners – unless, of course, other teams are able to surprise.
In early September at Artyom Fng Barshak expired contract with Gambit Esports, and two weeks later he officially became an Alliance player. As Barshak himself admitted, he feels great in the European team and he and the team are now having a “prolonged honeymoon”. Other members of the roster have repeatedly praised Fng and noted that he brought a lot of fresh ideas for draft and laning. Now that the contract has been officially signed, this feeling of uncertainty must go away, which must have been pressing both on Barshak himself and on his teammates.
After a short summer break, which Alliance took, the European team really started to play much more confidently. The roster was close to victory in the second season of OGA Dota PIT, but in a bitter struggle it still lost to Nigma – 2: 3, while initially winning back from 0: 2. The departure of Alliance from the OMEGA League was generally one of the highlights of the championship – how Amer Miracle- al-Barkawi was able to defend his throne, which had a few health points left, fans will remember for a long time.

Artem Fng Barshak
Alliance has shown that it has all the makings to become a full-fledged tier-1 team and win trophies. In this regard, the OGA Dota PIT will be a serious test for the team: it will either prove that it is able to permanently stand on a par with OG and Team Secret, or it will get stuck in the category of “ever-promising”, and then the “honeymoon” can quickly end …
VP.Prodigy Is the main mystery of this tournament. We haven’t seen the second line-up for almost two months Virtus.pro in business. The last time the roster played was in the second season of Dota PIT in July. Then the team showed itself not from the best side – only one victory over not the strongest NiP and two defeats from Natus Vincere and OG.
The team did not play at the OMEGA League, so it is difficult to say what form the players are in now. And then another question arises: what kind of players are we talking about? Recently, rumors about the impending reshuffle in VP.P have begun to surface more and more often. Information has already appeared in the media that eine will leave the roster, and will take its place Ilyas illias Ganeev from NAVI. In addition, the team can join and Danil gpK ~ Skutinwho was recently standin at Evil Geniuses… Based on this, we can say that under Rostislav fn Lozov the chair also began to wobble.

The fact that a major reshuffle begins in the CIS is no longer a secret for many. Therefore, it is difficult to predict which line-up VP.P will play in the tournament. However, all these transfer perturbations are unlikely to have a positive effect on the team within the OGA Dota PIT. If the team performs in its current lineup, then the shadows of illias and gpK ~ will probably put pressure on the guys they want to replace. If the second Virtus.pro roster, on the contrary, presents an updated roster right before the tournament, then it is highly likely that he simply will not have enough time to play and develop the necessary stock of strategies.
To the absence of tournament practice for two months and transfer rumors, it is necessary to add the unsuccessful grid for VP.P. Already in the first round, the CIS team will meet with Team Secret. We, of course, will believe in our guys to the end, but we should come to terms with the fact that they will probably “start” the tournament from the lower bracket, where, given the selection of participants, the competition will be serious.
In order to reach the OGA Dota PIT Season 3 playoffs, FlyToMoon’s roster has yet to pass the closed qualifier for four teams. However, the competition there will not be that high – 5men, ViKin.gg and Ninjas in Pajamas… In addition, the organizers have allocated two slots for four teams, so even one misfire will not be critical. Having warmed up with these teams, FTM can approach the playoffs in good shape, but there the team will already be waiting for Nigma or Team Liquid. With the latter, the CIS team has not the best statistics – the Swedish team regularly beat FlyToMoon in recent months. However, it should be borne in mind that the command Bohdan Iceberg Vasilenko finally settled the problems with the composition.

Vladimir RodjER Nikoghosyan
After the second season of Parimatch League and a spectacular 3: 2 win over Virtus.pro in the final, FlyToMoon’s roster has become a real contender for titles, at least in the CIS. But the team could not retain this status. Mirror Season 3 Finale Parimatch League, in which Virtus.pro was already able to recoup from the score 0: 2, and completely unsettled FTM.
Soon the roster left Ilya ALOHADANCE Korobkin, after which the players said that Korobkin had long lost his motivation and, in fact, hardly trained with the team. In his place came Vladimir RodjER Nikoghosyan, who, after a not very successful season, had something to prove both to the community and to himself. With the victory in the second division of the OMEGA League, the team showed that they have played well and are ready to grow further. FlyToMoon is a mood team capable of rolling OG or Alliance and then losing 5men. Perhaps the arrival of RodjER will help FTM surprise everyone at OGA Dota PIT Season 3.
